Originality of a
Rudraksha can be tested by adopting following measures:
- Eye test:
Rudraksha should have natural well-defined corns and contours. All the
exterior of rudraksha has smooth kind of projection and the portion
between two lines of rudraksha sturcturally different in the same beads if
seen deeply. Matching the Rudraksha owned by person in the photo shown in
web site related the originality of rudraksha.
- Water test:
This mechanism involves dipping a Rudraksha bead in boiling water and letting
it remain in that condition for 20 to 30 minutes. After taking out the
bead if it appears with its face tempered and glue coming off, then this
signifies that the bead is a fake. But as some
published book tell us that sinking of Rudraksha in water is original and
floating is duplicating .This saying is completely wrong. As Rudraksha is a
bead made of wood, it always floats in water.
- Scientific test:
There is no clear cut laboratory test for rudraksha.
